Right.. the latest version does support stripping attachments.  It actually
works exactly like the system for poisoning an attachment.  As long as the
extension is listed in the MANGLE_EXTENTIONS list, you can add that extension
to the file you defined with STRIPPED_EXECUTABLES and it will strip the file
out of the email.

For example, we strip 'exe' extensions at our location.  So, I verified that
'exe' was one of the extensions being defanged (meaning it was in the
MANGLE_EXTENSIONS).  I then edited my /etc/procmailrc, and added the line:

STRIPPED_EXECUTABLES=/etc/procmail/stripped

and then I just added *.exe to /etc/procmail/stripped.

That will strip all exe extensions.  Since you wish strip all attachments, just
go right down the MANGLE_EXTENSIONS list and add em all to the stripped file:

*.exe
*.com
*.cmd
*.bar
*.pif
*.sc[rt]

etc etc.

Good luck!
